Coolant prob........cracked cylinder????

I just put in my stroker and every now and then I've been noticing that my coolant level drops every other day or so. I have to add like a cup of water. I could smell a lil coolant when I had the AC running so I took out the heater core today. Hopefully that cures it. But I was also thinking that my resevoir isnt filled, duno if thats it. Also because the motor is new maybe I haven't bleed it good and water is still settling. I dunno. I just hope it aint a cracked cylinder. I don't see any water in the oil nor is there any color smoke coming out of my exhaust what so ever. I saw R_Anderson had the cracked cylinder problem. I left this there too.

thanks.

Fill the resevior....hopefully its like you said at first.....still some air pockets in the cooling system. If your smelling antifreeze check for external leaks(hoses, weep hole on WP, crossover tube bolts).
